had bed bugs in my room and could not sleep, felt very ill. very hot dorm. reception is not consistently 24/7. staff is very nice and location is good, but I do really need a place where I can sleep without fear of being bitten like that, even given cream. also, note if you're paying with card there's 3% fee if you are using an international card, on their end.
